By the time it came out on DVD, I forgot it ever existed. That sums it all up. I don't hate it, or love it. I nothing it.

The Game Plan went horribly array.
A football playing dead beat dad basically tries to create a relationship with his daughter. The movie has poor acting, terrible script, and is really just a boring movie.

This movie was terrible. I actually liked Maid In Manhattan more than this. For god sake, they might as well put make a Pacifier 2 while they're at it.

I had to watch this on a long plane ride and I would rather watch the clouds and the wings. Truly insipid, why are people with kids bringing down the collective IQ for movie watching audiences? Really really stupid. The rock cannot act his I had to watch this on a long plane ride and I would rather watch the clouds and the wings.

Oh please, give me a brake, what a terribly played movie. You could have at least chosen hayden christenson as the main role.

We know the drill. We know the narcissistic jock will be taught a life lesson or two from his long-lost daughter so why not make the transformation more meaningful and let Joe Kingman(Dwayne Johnson) be a complete utter a-hole? The star We know the drill. We know the narcissistic jock will be taught a life lesson or two from his long-lost daughter so why not make the transformation more meaningful and let Joe Kingman(Dwayne Johnson) be a complete utter a-hole? The star quarterback is an egomaniac but seems like a nice enough guy. When Peyton(Madison Pettis) shows up at his door, we should feel as if this arrangement of parent and child will never pan out. That's why "The Game Plan" is hopelessly innocuous; a family film that suggests, but glosses over the very real issue of promiscuous athletes and their illegitimate children. This Disney production is technically yet another family-friendly sports film, but the most exciting example of kinetic activity isn't the big football game; it's a handsomely mounted ballet recital. "The Game Plan", however, intended or not, manages to sling one pointed satirical arrow at the culture of modern athletics. Joe is allergic to cinnamon. The spice would seem hard to miss but he eats the cookies his daughter baked for him in seemingly blissful ignorance. Joe is like the athlete who claims he didn't knowingly ingest HGH(human growth hormones). "The Game Plan" could've used more edgy moments such as this. It suffers from an overdose of cuteness.… Expand

Well, it is infected with a disease, a disease that cannot be cured: The Black Death. It felt as if I had that disease throughout the film, I felt weak, I gained boredom every second. Maybe it was the popcorn that of which is giving me lumps Well, it is infected with a disease, a disease that cannot be cured: The Black Death. It felt as if I had that disease throughout the film, I felt weak, I gained boredom every second. Maybe it was the popcorn that of which is giving me lumps on my body? Is this it? Is this all the rock has to offer? Yeah, sure the story is fine, but the movie itself never stays focused, it never is on a certain balance. The main attention is the humor, which surprisingly is funny, and the Rock isn't all that bad in this, to me he sucks as an actor. In The Scorpion King he smelt. But in this he wasn't bad, as a Football player, that maybe his best role so far. That little girl though is so annoying, and the most of the comedy near the end wasn't there, I didn't catch any. It was too light hearted, very weak, and overplayed, the ending was like any other ending, maybe they could at least try something different than just showing the final game and let the good team win. It is so predictable, and obvious, the dialogue made me roll my eyes because dah they were gonna' say that. But the rest of the movie is okay and funny, but the only real engaging thing about the movie is the Football parts, those parts are good. just the ending wasted the whole movie, and after a while it seemed like the movie ran out of ideas. I just don't get why there has to be such a boring plot, because you know in some movies like Master and Commander: The far Side of the World is predictable but done very well. I love that movie, I adore it, it is the best movie of its year, it beats Pirates, the best Pirate movie ever. And it got 10 Academy Awards, by Russell Crowe, he performances excellently. You know I rather would rate this movie a 10 and talk about Master and commander than this, I would but I just have a few things to say about The Game Plan. So, overall, do not watch this movie, it is not worth it, nor for free, I watched 3:10 To yuma for free because the manager gave us free passes due to poor service last time at the Theatre, but don't waste your free Sunady night to go to a movie with free movie passes to this when you can go see a good movie. Believe me, this movie sucks. I fell asleep for the first time ever in a theatre, this movie is so boring. Period. I never fell asleep in Epic Movie and it was terrible, worth a 0/10, and at least it had exciting things happening, with stupid but fun context from beginning to end.… Expand

Really ridiculous, when a girl comes to your door without an agent and gives this strong buff football player saying that he is her Dad. You can't just say you are her Dad, when you would be knowing her your entire lfe if you had a Kid.

There are so many flaws that is horrible.… Expand
